About Blue lockauthor. Am I only one tired of knsr queerbait?
Am I the only one who thinks Kaneshiro, the author of Blue lockisn't as "woke" as some people make him out to be? I'm honestly tired of people deluluing from his most popular manga. Nagireo, Kaisagi/bachisagi, and etc is not gay.
I'm saying this partly because of his previous manga. That gay male character's feelings and confessions were practically treated as a joke, while the female character's romantic feelings were given a much more serious portrayal. Not to mention how his CANNONICALLY same-sex-attracted characters seem to fall into the tired "predatory LGBT+" stereotype.
One of his interviews basically confirm that there's no romantic attraction between them (Nagireo), yet he still makes queerbait comments "I wanted to make it so that it can be interpreted through that angle". Isn't that weird? Saying that to keep the BL audience invested without ever having to commit to actual representation for his beloved actual serious main audience. Queerbaiting for fan engagement and merchandise sales. Confirming there's no romantic attraction between them but still encourage people to interpret their relationship however they want.
Im seriously tired of author using two straight men dynamic for yaoibait and profit.
What do you guys think? Am I being too , or does anyone else see it this way?
Well, I mean, it's a sports manga? There's no romance in it, and even if there were, he obviously doesn't intend to center the plot around it. I don't think he said that to yaoi-bait or to keep shippers invested in the fandom. Rather, I believe he said it so that fans wouldn't feel ashamed or wrong for shipping his characters. They may not be canon...... reply
